Nose and cheek herpes pimples in hsv2 subjects are always together with genital ob?

[MarsAttack]

Hello, I am hsv2 positive. Lately Iam getting a bad herpetic pimple on cheek (same position for two times in few months) and now one on side nose. Don't have a very noticeable stuff on genitals though. It is possible that you get random stuff on face far from a normal genital ob "timing"?

Have you gotten those nose/cheek pimples swabbed and tested to make absolutely sure they're herpes? That'd be super helpful to get a definitive test since HSV-2 is unlikely to show up in those areas except for in some rare cases like folks with compromised immune systems.

How can I check my immune system, which tests? But you got the point, I think that my immune sys is also the problem and the reason why I got hsv2 (probably) from an oral (they say is pretty rare but is the only unprotected act I had).

No didn't swab them but never had so many before the hsv2.

@mr_hopp sorry, could this ugly nose and face pimples (or herpes if is that) be triggered from some cortisone I am taking for sciatic nerve problem (which started from a bad back movemente but I also think is related to my hsv2)? I mean 'cause I know it can lower your immune defence.
